Examples of Complex Carbs

It is important for your immune system to have enough carbs, but too much blood glucose elevates your insulin levels and leads to fat or diabetes.

Looking at GI (Glycemic Index) tables, the line between sources of carbohydrates and sources of protein or fat are blurred...
